Paul Naschy
is a deranged gravedigger named Ogor in this horror film set in a small
highland village in 19th Scotland, where a stranger's arrival to claim
an inheritance is met with apocalyptic visions and evil omens. The town
unearths a crypt of horrors including a devil-worshipping coven and zombies.

Filmmaker
Jose Luis Merino
was born José Luis Boves in Madrid, Spain, 1927. He would direct
30+ films between 1958-1990, most of them adventure actioners, crime dramas,
Spaghetti Westerns, costume dramas (involving Robin Hood, pirates, Zorro
etc). However, ironically, he is best known for his two horror films -
made in the early '70s - CASTLE
WITH THE DOORS OF FIRE and this movie. Both are considered Genre
Classics today. Yet Merino never wanted to be known as a horror director;
in a 1992 interview he said: "Prefiero ser conocido por mis películas
de acción. Estas películas de terror son feos."
(I'd rather be known for my action movies. These horror movies are ugly.)
